Until August, the extraordinary rediscovered novel from the Nobel Prize-winning author of Love in the Time of Cholera and One Hundred Years of Solitude, invites readers into the contemplative world of Ana Magdalena Bach. Sitting alone by the lagoon's blue waters, Ana reflects on the men at the hotel bar. Despite twenty-seven years of a happy marriage and a life filled with love for her husband and children, she is drawn to the island where her mother is buried every August, where she indulges in a night with a new lover.

Through the sultry Caribbean evenings, brimming with salsa and boleros, Ana delves deeper into her desires and the fears nestled in her heart. Until August is a constantly surprising and joyously sensual exploration of freedom, regret, self-transformation, and the enigmatic nature of love. It is a profound meditation and an unexpected gift from one of the world's most revered writers.
